100” screen to 85” screen

[budjo]

I have an old LG PF1000uw ust projector and a 100” screen. I wanted to replace the 1080 ust with a 98” 4k tv but unfortunately I can’t get such a large tv into my home theater because the theater is in the room over the garage. And to get to the theater you are in a narrow hall coming in from the garage. There isn’t enough room to get a 98” tv through the door. However I can get a 85” tv through the door if I unbox it and turn it up vertically. Question is do you think I will be disappointed by going to a 85” screen. The mlp is 12ft. from the screen and it is a two row theater. For some reason I can’t attach a photo. I keep getting file is too large even thought it’s less that 1 mb.

Why a tv now instead of staying with a projector?

I have an 85" TV and it is just fine. Make sure you get an LG or Sony OLED. That is way better than any projector.

Would like to be able to watch with some lights on. Also free up the space on my av furniture.

OLED gives a good picture in all lighting pretty much. OLED is your solution.

This makes zero sense.

Yeah if he can get it there without breaking it. Said he has to remove it from the box and squeeze it through the whole house to fit it. A projector you just have a screeen. I remember the plasma I got ripped off from goodwill with that only worked a short time. Was so heavy I almost dropped it once . Plus OLED can still burn in depending on what you watch I’d imagine games or sports /news hud/ticker aren’t good . But that plasma never burnt in just power supply broke. So maybe it’s a non issue .

Thanks, just curious....if I had the right space I'd go the other way, from tv to projector. Better screen/projector wouldn't work? How does it save space for furniture, tho?
But if going tv I'd agree an OLED would be the way to go, and as large as fits thru the door/hall! Good luck!

Maybe to you but I fine with it.

I was about 18 years old when I first saw a 120” screen + protector. It blew my mind and I knew I absolutely had to get one even though it was quite expensive. I’ve been using a projector ever since.

But if you’ve owned a 100” screen and it didn’t give you the same awesome feeling that I got, then I guess you won’t care if it’s an 85” TV.
